IMPROVEMENT lN VEGETABLE-CUTTERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. [87,731, dated February 27, 1877; application filed August 19', 1876. 7

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM RErrz and EMIL EIGHHOLZER, of the city of Joliet, in Will county, and State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements in Vegetable- Outters, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view, and Fig. 2 a plan view, on the top of the cuttingrollers. I

' The nature of our invention consists in an arrangement of a cutting-roller with a wooden roller, between which vegetables or any other thing desirable may be run through between to be cut intostrips or pieces.

In the drawing, P represents a case, preferably constructed of metal, which contains the rollers A and B, which turn in the direction of the arrows on their journals r. The roller A is provided with, a series of annular cutting-knives, 0, which bear against the opposite wooden or soft roller The substance to be cut enters at the hopper s, and passes down between the-rollers A B, where it is cut by the knives c, and is discharged below..

The device makes a very efficient machine to cut up vegetables, meats, &c.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

The case 1?, having inclosed within it they rollers A B, knives c, and guard a, and gearing at, all arranged, operating, and constructed particularly as and for the purpose set forth.
